I used to have that JLC strap, that does look outstanding on the Navi! WOW!!!! Seriously that looks great because that strap isn;t light brown, it's kinda dark. I love it!

Thanks mate, since its double-sewn, it looks a bit more delicate than the OEM strap with its broad white stitching, which goes well with the very delicate details of the dial. Besides, the stitching's tan color fits the dial's off-white/light champaign tone quite nicely as well.

I couldn't be happier.

The brown strap/black dial isn't my thing, but that strap on its own is remarkable. I really like the double stitching. I may have to look at JLC when it comes time to replace my current Breitling croc strap. In any case, I'm glad to hear you're happy with how it turned out. In the end, that's all that matters.

Thanks mate! They do come in black as well I think, I'd have to ask my AD.

BTW, really interesting how the poll has turned out. Tastes seem to be quite equally distributed among the different straps but quite in favour of black overall. I must say I see the point and it is a stretch, but then agein it really fitted my style better and it is my watch after all, so a bit of adaptation seems ok ;)
